Nose and Toes: a poem celebrating the senses of smell and touch
What wonderful things we possess as humans: noses and toes being just two of them - both of which can wake your senses like they did when you were a child... you just have to let them.
And never take your nose and toes for granted.
Nose and Toes
When I pull off my socks
and let the air
tickle my toes
My happiness grows
When I lie by my dog
and let her hair
prickle my nose
My happiness grows
When I splash in the sea
and let her waves
nibble my toes
My happiness flows
When I hug with my mum
and let her scent
wiggle my nose
My happiness flows
When I play on the grass
and let its blades
peep through my toes
My happiness glows
When I take a new breath
and let its thrill
sweep though my nose
My happiness glows
